Application
Applicable to vehicles with 9" front wheel drum brakes. Suitable for CJ-2A (1946-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953), M38 (1950-1952), CJ-3B (1953+) and Hotchkiss M201 (French licence version 1955-1966). Note: not suitable for vehicles with 10" or 11" brake systems.
Installation notes
Front wheel cylinder, identical left or right. 2 pieces required per vehicle. Always bleed the brake system completely after fitting, starting with the wheel with the longest brake line from the master cylinder. Check brake drums for wear and eccentrics for correct adjustment to ensure optimal braking performance.
Compatibility
Front wheels have 1" bore (25.4 mm), rear wheels have 3/4" bore (19 mm) - DO NOT fit these cylinders on the rear axle. Specifically for 9" brake systems - vehicles with 10" or 11" brakes use different cylinders with different bore and connections.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was built in France from 1955 to 1966 under Willys licence for the French army, with parts production continuing until 1978. These vehicles used largely the same brake components as the American Willys MB and Ford GPW.
